Gym Leaders & Elite Four Thread

Discuss the GYM LEADERS and ELITE FOUR of Pokemon X & Y. You may also discuss the Champion and the Pokemon League as a whole.

All posts should be constructive and contain ideas, support/elaborate their ideas, and must contribute to the discussions and/or on-going arguments. One-liner posts such as "I agree.", "I want [this] to be in the game!", "This sucks!" will all be considered spam and will be deleted.

To me, one of the most neat Gym Leaders this generation is Valerie. I mean, her eyes are a very attractive part of her, and really work with her being a Fairy-Type trainer. n_n Plus her outfit is pretty neat too!

I don't care about EVs. If you don't either, copy and paste this into your sig. (Started by Shiny Metagross)

I hate to be a partypooper here but the Elite 4 theme for this generation is disappointing... It doesn't give off a feeling of anticipation or suspense. I also wish Wulfric was a dark gym leader instead and had dark attire and appearance instead of an Ice gym leader to mark the first dark gym leader. Aside that, I'm satisfied with the gym leader lineup. Generic with the rock, psychic and fighting leaders but I think it plays for a good conglomerate this time around

Pokemon X: 1435 - 4013 - 1487 (,,)

I am searching for the following Pokemon (Modest), (Modest), (Hasty/Naive), (Timid/Jolly/Hasty/Naive), (Timid/Modest), (Jolly/Adamant)

I can provide you with the following Pokemon… (Timid), (Jolly), (Timid), (Rash), (Bold), (Careful), (Relaxed with Seismic Toss).

I’m also offering a legit Shiny Foongus. Looking for a good natured shiny in return!

I'm going to try and avoid spoiling myself too much here though I know pretty much everything there is to know about them.
The Elite 4 are really awesomely designed. I'm happy with the unique types that GF chose for each member!
I do hope that in a rematch they use 6 mons with one mega-evo each!

I'm just going to be very vague so I don't spoil anything. Name of last city is not creative at all. Its too similar to another region's name. That lineup is very very bad. Looking from all the details game feels more of like 3rd game opposed to a brand new game. I understand the 3d models and world must have taken alot of time. Just feels like a new feature should have been used alot more than it was.

50% of Serebii users are relapsing pokemon fans...if you are among those that never got off the band wagon...copy and paste this in your sig (started by CyberBlastoise)...

so josh said no gym rematches. is this true? if so, I can't believe it. it's just stupid if that's true.

probably going to have to wait for the... third version

I have to say, Valerie is so awesome but is it just me, or is there somthing might creepy about her too?

Also:

Spoiler:- ::

No Dark gym is just so... crappy... man- why 4 generations on has that not happened?! I genuinely don't understand why; there must surely be some sort of taboo about it. We have several Dark type specialists anyway, what is the difference? Mega disapoints also that we have another Electric gym! Why? Buh :L

Could anyone please say what the E4 types are but not in the correct order or without any reference to who they are, please? :3

why cant a grass type gym ever be farther along?
ice type gym has been in the last 3 regions in a row and always around the same position ENOUGH ALREADY!
a dark type gym would be amazing to see but its obviously never going to happen

Spoiler:- E4 types:

I don't know their names or order but I know the types are fire water steel and dragon

Just saw Olympia's roster. I'm not impressed that she's using Mawile and Mr. Mime. I mean couldn't they have given her at least two Gen 6 Fairy-types? And as for her Sylveon; I feel it's the poster child for Fairy-types so I'm not that impressed with it either. Overall the Kalos Gym Leader rosters seem underwhelming in my opinion.

She dresses all cute, but then those eyes... almost fully black, I think that's supposed to be a little uncanny.

Perhaps it's because fairies are usually "cute", but still supernatural, mysterious, so they're a little unsettling.

I think you're right she does seem to embody the 'deceptively cute yet bizarre and kinda creepy' thing that Fairy type has going for it. The wing/arm things kind of freak me out too :S If I liked girls, she would probably be nightmare-fap-fuel but since I don't, she is just pure nightmare fuel :S

Mr. Mime as Fairy type still hasn't fully sunk in with me- I mean, I get it, I think, but it was so unexpected :O

You mean Valerlie, Olympia is Psychic... I like it... we haven't had a Psychic leader since Tate and Lisa and we do have a female bug user also! Bit annoyed we have 5 electric leaders out of 6 regions but glad we have no Water region we already have 6!

You mean Valerie? Well I think apart from Grant, they are all using only one 'new' pokemon each- so Sylveon almost seemed the natural choice to me, as I wouldn't have expected it to be the version exclusive ones- maybe Flabebe could have fit? Sylveon's bows and stuff fit well with Valerie's design, I think they fit I was disapointed in getting a female Fairy type specialist, I wanted me some bara :P but Valerie is cool [as well as freaky as], so I can forgive
